Artist/Band: The Neighbourhood
Lyrics for Song: Afraid
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Neighbourhood



When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place



Make that money, fake that dummy, ache my tummy

On the fence, all the time

Paint junk honey, face so sunny, ain't that funny

All my friends always lie to me

I know they're thinking,



You're too mean, I don't like you, fuck you anyway

You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs

It hurts but I won't fight you

You suck anyway

You make me wanna die, right when I,



When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might end up being me



Keep on dreaming, don't stop breathing, fight those demons

Sell your soul, not your whole self

If they see it when you're sleeping, make them leave it



And I can't even see if it's all there anymore so,



You're too mean, I don't like you, fuck you anyway

You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs

It hurts but I won't fight you

You suck anyway

You make me wanna die, right when I,



When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might end up being me



Being me can only mean

Feeling scared to breathe

If you leave me then I'll be afraid of everything

That makes me anxious, keeps me patience, calms me down

Lets me face this, let me sleep, and when I wake up

Let me breathe



When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might take my place

When I wake up I'm afraid, somebody else might end up being me


Afraid - The Neighbourhood

Released as a standalone single, "Afraid" by The Neighbourhood stands as a defining track of the mid-2010s indie-pop revival. The song features the band's signature blend of atmospheric production and introspective lyrics, delivered by lead vocalist Alex G. It serves as a thematic counterpart to their earlier hit "Sweater Weather," exploring similar themes of anxiety and social observation while pushing the sonic boundaries of the genre. The recording showcases the group's ability to create immersive soundscapes that prioritize mood and texture over traditional song structures. As a key component of their discography, the track has become an enduring staple in the indie rock canon, influencing a generation of artists who emulate its melancholic yet polished aesthetic.
